    Sorry to bring this old thread up - finally finishing up the spec. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    What do you guys think of Grigio Corvana seats/lower dash /etc with the carbon seats? Green stripe on the seats and around the gauge cluster with green stitching and door handles?

    That works- maybe with that I would do silver calipers rather than yellow. And the carbon shields and black center caps. Green/gray/silver motif with no yellow.

    There was a Verde Kers Purosangue on the production line last week which was wild and one in Porsche Riviera Blue… also saw Piero Ferrari’s personal car parked out front - Verde Minerale Purosangue which looks amazing

    Verde Dora is a homage to his Father's 1962 SuperAmerica in the same color.
    Verde Minerale is a different green...

    Great that you got see cars being built, much better than a paint chip sample!

    I stand corrected!… my London dealer had a demo GTB in that colour .. the car in the pic I believe is a customer car that has since been sold again..:

    I say go for it! I'll be replacing my 720S with a 296GTS I just spec'd. I'm not as adventurous color wise (going with Blue TDF) but I love the green! Also, personally I would do beige inside, it just seems like green and beige look so classic and the green speaks volumes enough that a classic interior will look amazing.

    I have an interior shot - the configurator didn't have Verde Jewel - so the dealer used a filler color

    I’d go Cuoio over beige, personally. But that’s a beautiful interior regardless.

    That looks like Beige Tradizione leather with alcantara dash and door inserts? I considered using a mix of alcantara and leather in my 812 GTS using Beige Tradizione but when I got hold of large samples of each material and laid them out there is a strong hint of peach to the alcantara whilst the leather has a much more golden tone so there is a noticeable difference between the colour tones of the two materials. It may not be as noticeable to you but I went all leather in my car for this reason.

    Here are a couple of photo's I took showing each sample. They look very different outdoors in natural light compared to indoors in a dealer's showroom Atelier display where they can look much closer in terms of colour match.

    That will be reserved for the lightweight seat option in the 296VS.

    this is very helpful! Yes your right this is beige tradizione

    and I agree full leather is the way to go.
    Still trying to figure out whether “signal green” or Ferraris default “verde” is the right choice for the interior accent color for verde jewel.


    Any input is greatly appreciated! Might just schedule the atelier appointment to avoid risking it

    My dealer used Signal Green leather in their showroom display Verde Jewel car. The Verde 4305 leather is a different shade of green that won't work well with Verde Jewel IMHO. Signal is a very bright shade of green so you may want to see a swatch of it next to a swatch of Beige Tradizione before deciding.
